Description of the problem	My 2007 kia spectra's doors will randomly lock and unlock. This has caused great concern both in situations where i would need to get into my car quickly - for example a mugging or snowstorm, and where i leave my car parked in a public location. Research online indicates this is a common problem, yet kia refuses to fix it unless they can replicate the issue, and instead try to hint that it's user error. I've filmed this occurrence, and multiple people have seen the door locks "argue" with the fob's unlock command. The manufacturer refuses to honor the warranty unless they can replicate it and told me "bring it back when the locks fail entirely." it is a constant issue now. I will be taking it back to kia again this weekend.
